如果申请者GPA不是特别高,可以考虑一下申请一下UW EE PMP,是一个很好的找工向的项目选择

**25 fall bar 明显升高,有不少高gpa、高rk的cs bg同学被拒,疑似oq,也有CMU MSIN录取uw ee pmp被rej的, 往年拿uw ee pmp进行保底的好事已经不复存在,强烈推荐再找个别的保底项目**

## 选课和 wld

PMP 对找工党很友好,工作日 4:30 或 6:30 才开始上课,白天整块时间可以留给面试和自己的 project。软件课也够选,算法、CV、deep learning、LLM、GPU 都有,不想碰电路完全可以往软件方向排。2026 Fall 继续开算法、视觉、系统安全和 GPU 计算,就算选不到 CSE 的课,也能凑出一份全软课表。

不过想靠这个 master 做很多 research 的话,PMP 就没那么顺手了。它是 coursework 项目,没有 thesis,EE P 599 独立研究最多算 8 学分;传统 daytime 项目有论文路线,读博导向更明确。PMP 和 daytime 的硕士大多是自费,TA/RA 主要给有 funding 的 PhD。

## 找工和生活

同学找工意愿普遍很强,互相交流岗位、OA、面试准备都很方便。西雅图有 Amazon、Microsoft 这些公司,线下招聘活动值得多去,当然住在大厂旁边,offer 也不会自己送上门。

生活上是很完整的城市体验,演出、体育比赛、户外都有,不至于除了学校就没地方去。缺点也很实在:冬天阴雨多,房租、外食、打车都不便宜。喜欢城市生活、能接受下雨的人会过得挺舒服,冲着生活费便宜来的就不太合适。

## CPT(2026-10-11)

PMP 是有 CPT 申请路径的:官方 FAQ 仍然写着学生有申请资格,ENGR 601 也能拿实习学分。实习本身不是全体学生毕业必修,项目说明和 ISS 的总政策之间也有出入,但不能光凭“实习非必修”就认定 PMP 批不了,具体按 PMP 和 ISS 的最新流程审批。

If your GPA isn't particularly high, consider applying to UW EE PMP. It's a great job-hunting-oriented program choice.

**25 Fall threshold has clearly risen. Many applicants with high GPAs and high rankings from CS backgrounds were rejected, possibly due to being overqualified. There were even cases of CMU MSIN admits being rejected by UW EE PMP. The days of using UW EE PMP as a safety school are over. It is strongly recommended to find another safety school option.**

## Courses and workload

PMP is very friendly for job seekers. Weekday classes start at 4:30 or 6:30 p.m., leaving whole days free for interviews and your own projects. There are plenty of software courses, including algorithms, CV, deep learning, LLMs and GPU computing, so you can go full software and skip circuits entirely. Fall 2026 continues to offer algorithms, vision, systems security and GPU computing, so you can put together an all-software schedule even without getting into CSE courses.

If you want to do a lot of research during the master's, PMP is less convenient. It's coursework-based with no thesis, and EE P 599 independent research counts for at most eight credits. The traditional daytime program has a thesis route and a clearer PhD orientation. Most master's students in both PMP and the daytime program pay their own way; TA/RA positions mainly go to PhD students with funding.

## Recruiting and life

Classmates are generally serious about recruiting, which makes trading openings, OA experiences and interview prep easy. Seattle has Amazon, Microsoft and more, and in-person recruiting events are worth going to, though living next door to big tech doesn't mean offers show up on their own.

Life-wise it's a full city experience: shows, sports and the outdoors, with plenty to do beyond campus. The downsides are real too: rainy winters, and rent, eating out and rides are all pricey. If you like city life and can put up with rain, you'll be comfortable; if cheap living is the goal, this isn't the place.

## CPT — October 11, 2026

PMP does have a CPT application route: the official FAQ still says students are eligible, and ENGR 601 provides internship credit. The internship itself isn't required of every student, and the program's guidance differs from ISS's general policy, but optional status alone isn't grounds to conclude that PMP can't approve CPT. Approval follows the latest PMP and ISS process.

## 選課和 wld {#选课和-wld}

PMP 對找工黨很友好,工作日 4:30 或 6:30 才開始上課,白天整塊時間可以留給面試和自己的 project。軟件課也夠選,算法、CV、deep learning、LLM、GPU 都有,不想碰電路完全可以往軟件方向排。2026 Fall 繼續開算法、視覺、系統安全和 GPU 計算,就算選不到 CSE 的課,也能湊出一份全軟課表。
